Divemaster Internships Thailand: Introduction
Working as a PADI Divemaster is one of the most enjoyable positions in the scuba diving industry. On Koh Tao, Divemasters lead certified divers on underwater tours of the coral reefs and pinnacles, coordinate logistics and give briefings, and generally take on a leadership role as expert level divers.
This two month scuba diving internship trains you from beginner through to PADI Divemaster - the first professional level in the PADI system. Our internship packages together absolutely everything you need - scuba diving courses, PADI materials and fees, your own set of scuba diving gear and accommodation.
Throughout this Thailand diving internship you'll be working through PADI courses in sequence, logging many dives and as your diving skills and experience grow you'll be gradually taking on more responsibility and becoming part of the Simple Life Divers team. The best thing about taking an internship with Simple Life is that you'll be getting real hands on experience, and having a great time along the way.
Here's a breakdown of exactly what is included in this scuba diving internship:
PADI Scuba Diving Courses
This 2 month scuba diving internship takes you through PADI's diver education system in sequence, proceeding from beginner to PADI Divemaster. Here are the steps:
1. PADI Open Water Diver: Learn how to scuba dive - includes theory, a shallow water skills session and four open water dives dow to a maximum depth of 18M. Full schedule of the PADI Open Water course
2. PADI Advanced Open Water Diver: Make 5 more training dives to expand your scuba diving skills and experience into new areas of diving including deep diving (30M), underwater navigation, night diving, photography, buoyancy control and more. More on the PADI Advanced Open Water course.
3. Emergency First Responder and PADI Rescue Diver: First we make a one day CPR/First aid qualification before heading out to the water to learn how to manage and prevent scuba diving emergencies, including both surface and underwater rescue scenarios. Read more about PADI Rescue Diver Training.
4. DAN O2 Provider: Get certified to administer 100% oxygen as a emergency treatment for scuba diving related illnesses.
5. PADI Divemaster Internship: Now training steps up a gear - you'll develop expert level scuba diving theory, assist with student divers in training, be trained to guide certified divers on underwater tours, undertake watermanship and problem solving exercises, map a dive site, conduct a scuba review for a 'rusty' diver and more. You'll take on real responsibility and become part of the Simple Life dive crew. More on the PADI Divemaster internship.
In between these PADI courses and during the Divemaster training phase of the internship, you're welcome to make non-training 'fun-dives'.
